How to Host an Avorion Server – Step-by-Step Guide for Space Commanders
Avorion lets you build, trade, fight, and explore a massive procedurally generated galaxy — alone or with friends. Hosting your own server gives you complete freedom to shape your galaxy, control progression, and expand your universe exactly how you want.
This guide explains how to host your own Avorion server and why Citadel Servers is the best partner for stable, high-performance space adventures.
Step 1: Choose a Reliable Hosting Provider
Avorion’s sandbox systems and large-scale battles demand a powerful host that can handle complex physics, AI, and player activity smoothly. A good provider ensures your galaxy runs efficiently — even with multiple factions and players interacting at once.
- Performance: Look for hosts using powerful CPUs and NVMe SSDs to reduce stuttering and improve loading times.
- Network Quality: A strong global network ensures low latency and smooth movement across all regions.
- Ease of Management: A user-friendly control panel helps you configure and manage your world without needing advanced technical skills.
- Support Availability: 24/7 support ensures that help is always there when you need it — even deep in the savannah.
Citadel Servers provides optimized hardware, seamless mod integration, and an intuitive panel built specifically for managing Arma 3 servers — perfect for milsim groups, public servers, and private communities alike.
Step 2: Order Your Hosting Plan
Once you’ve decided to host with Citadel Servers, getting started is simple:
1. Go to the Avorion hosting page.
2. Choose how many player slots you want.
3. Pick your server location closest to your player base for the best ping.
4. Select any extras, like process priority, premium support, etc.
5. Proceed to checkout — once payment is confirmed, your server deploys automatically.
You’ll receive an email with your control panel login details and connection info within minutes.
Step 3: Configure Your Server
After deployment, it’s time to personalize your world:
- Follow our Quick Start Guide
- Set your server name, password, and admin credentials.
- Adjust gameplay settings like difficulty, starting resources, faction behavior, and galaxy generation.
- Install or upload mods and scripts using the One-Click Mod Manager, or manually via FTP/SFTP for deeper customization.
- Enable automated restarts and backups to keep your galaxy running smoothly.
With full file access, you have complete control over your Avorion universe — from custom events and ships to full-scale economic overhauls.
Step 4: Launch and Play
When your settings are ready, start your server from the panel and invite your friends.
Players can connect via the in-game server browser or by entering the server’s IP and port.
You can monitor activity, manage users, and restart your world at any time — all through the same web interface.
